@redneonglow@nyanide unironically I think giving someone baest as their first intro to the alt fediverse is basically dipping them into the deepend. :guraKekw: but then again most instances we interact with on this side of the fediverse are the most defederated instances period.
@Hoss@Goalkeeper@SuperSnekFriend@blueknightfrank you get a new ID in the red square every thread. It's just convenient to weeding out people who will talk to themselves in the same thread to make their opinion gospel by appearing to be a larger mass than they are. Even if they reroll the id a bunch you can tell if basically every single reply they get is a (1) post.
@DarkMahesvara@hellhammer666 Real talk i've done btrfs on arch and i've legitimately never had my system break in a way snapshots would have saved me. 🤡 All the extra work for getting it up for fucking Nothing.
It's just been arch-chroot and save yourself by doing commands there.
@prettygood@KaiserKitty@PurpCat@phnt I bet you could gatekeep people by just making signing up for an account requires doing it through the tor version of the website. The clear web version would have no register button. You'd probably gatekeep a huge chunk of people with such a minor wall.
@PurpCat@KaiserKitty@phnt@prettygood I just feel like maybe the era of open chatrooms is over again. Maybe it'll just be we go back to forums and you know not centralize to reddit again. Putting a minor gate like maybe someone has to make 10 posts that aren't ass on the forum before they get access to the matrix server. You'd require an actual dedicated asshole to do it over some random asshat who sees it as a cheap laugh.
@PurpCat@phnt the worst part is the realization that your normie relative, who fell for the 23andme meme might have doomed you because of their horrible opsec for even their own dna.
@Suiseiseki I mean usually laptops are 1 motherboard and if your cpu or gpu crap out your whole laptops a brick. At least in this cause the rma is just replace the broken side. It's pretty sad how abysmal laptops are overall. I'm pretty sure storage isn't soldered to the board.
Cpus haven't been socketed in a laptop since the lenovo t440p right? Did we ever have socketed gpus?
Tfw this laptop manufacturer must be feeling super smug right now due to nvidia rop gate also applying to laptops. Instead of needing to throw out everything they only need to return the nvidia mainboards.
